Sadly, we actually had a terrible haircut from Diana here. My son has a mixture of 2c / 3a hair…read more His father took him in and told her his goal was to grow his hair long. He showed her 3 inspiration photos for cuts. He specifically stated we wanted a trim around the temples and shaping and an evening of his bangs. We were new customers and booked a kids haircut thinking that's for kids a not a style of cut. Diana proceeded to cut inches off of his hair he'd spent months growing. She did layer it on the sides, but cut it in a mushroom cut. But most egregious is she finished by brushing all of his curls out. She clearly knew it looked crazy because she asked about whether she should make it shorter (already much too short). His father could tell she had no idea what she was doing so declined further "fixes." Since we had a day out planned. After leaving, given how terrible he looked they went back to the salon to ask for a fix. At least wet his hair. She finally re-wet his hair leaving his curls insanely short - particularly the bangs. He asked her to bring it up on the temples to fix the bizarre mushroom shape, and she refused saying she didn't understand and it's a "kids cut" and that's not what they do for a "kids cut." We were not told there was a standard haircut provided to all kids. She also stated they don't style kids hair for the cut. So they let curly hair kids leave looking like brushed out frizzballs?When he got upset about the whole experience- they made it clear in front of our son that his expectations were too high and they wouldn't be fixing anything. Please please avoid this place with your children - or your curly hair. What a terrible terrible experience! If you can't do a hair cut, just admit it. Don't destroy a kids hair before the holidays and holiday photos. ..... Update - regarding the haircut - we received the following message about the cut and blow dry: "At the beginning of the appointment, your son's father showed the stylist inspiration photos for your son's hair. The photos that were shown were long curly cuts, and it was explained to the stylist that when your son's hair grows out, he does not want it to be big on the sides of his head. With every child/teen appointment, all of our stylists first talk to the parent at the consultation and at the start of cutting. The stylist was following the instructions she was given by your son's father. Once she started cutting, she asked your son's father to come over and check if the first cut was OK. He said yes, and she proceeded to give your son a trim and was taking her time during the appointment. She noticed that the sides were previously cut unevenly, so she made sure to even them out while she was shaping his hair. After she trimmed and shaped his hair, she dried his hair, as it was very cold outside. In the video recording of the appointment, there was not much hair on the floor. She just did a trim and did not cut inches off of his hair." So yes, they were provided the inspiration photos. Yes their stylist asked him to "check on the cut" only after she had already cut significantly more than was requested. At that point, there was nothing meaningful he could do. Yes, she did blow dry his hair into this state, and they are defending it as appropriate for how you blow dry curly hair. "Your son's father and your son were satisfied at the end of the appointment and gave the stylist a generous tip. Your son was not upset when he left." They claim because we left a large tip ($10) that we were please. No, we just believe in compensating people for their time - even if we dislike their services. Monetary penalization is not something we support. All we wanted was an apology or acknowledgement that how our son was sent into the world by the salon was not appropriate. That there was a communication breakdown of what the stylist could provide. That there was any sort of acknowledgment that the cut received was different than the intended and requested.

I came to get a cut and color with Ashley yesterday. She came highly recommended by one of my…read morecoworkers. I was depressed because the hairstylist I've been using for the past 8 years just up and moved without telling me. I was hesitant to go to anyone new. I couldn't stand looking at my roots anymore, so I took a deep breath and went to my appointment yesterday. The place is easily accessible by the F and G Fort Hamilton subway stop. Just two blocks away. The salon is very tiny but didn't seem cramped. I got there 10 minutes early, but I didn't have to wait more than that before Ashley brought me to her chair. She's so nice, sweet, and welcoming. Got right down to the consultation. I told her I wanted a good chunk of length gone, and she immediately cut a few inches. Went into the color after that and then the cut and beautiful styling. The dye process took no more than 30 minutes. I picked a violet color, and it came out so beautiful. Throughout the whole process, she kept the conversation flowing without any awkward long silences. Offered water, coffee, and tea. It was just a chill experience overall. Let's face it. Getting your hair cut and styled anywhere in NYC is not cheap! Although this salon does have prices on the cheaper side, even though it costs almost twice as much as I usually spend. I'm okay with it, though, because when something is good, I'm willing to shell out the bucks for it. I had a all over color for $145, and the cut was $75. If you use a card, they charge you a 3% processing fee, so bring cash if you don't want any added expenses. Something I really like about this salon is that they don't try to sell you on products. They also don't try and bilk you with tons of services or more appointments than needed. I appreciate that. I definitely will be back!

She has that kind of effortless confidence that only comes from decades of experience. Her cuts are consistently flattering and polished, and the highlights and lowlights she recently gave me were gorgeous. I walked out of the salon feeling proud to be 51 and like a million bucks. Stella is just as wonderful. She's done my brows, pedicures, and the occasional facial. I love that the nail services are done in a private back room. It's calm and quiet and allows me to relax. She's also just a joy to chat with. That said, Angela and Stella are part of a whole team of talented, hardworking stylists. The vibe in the salon is friendly, collaborative, and always buzzing. The space is small but full of energy, and it feels like a true community hub--with clients of all ages coming in for cuts, color, keratin treatments, brows, facials, nails, and more. It's worth noting they only accept cash or personal checks, so come prepared. But you'll be well taken care of once you're in the chair. Smart Hair Studio is warm, skilled, and refreshingly unpretentious--everything a neighborhood salon should be.
